Only 32% of Americans are in favor of the U.S. government banning TikTok , according to a Pew Research Center survey.

That's down from 50% who supported a ban in March 2023 , and TikTok ’s users are even less inclined to support a ban.

TikTok 's parent company, ByteDance , is obligated by multiple Chinese laws to share user information if the government asks for it.

TikTok users say the entertainment trade-off is worth it.

Even Donald Trump , who spearheaded the campaign to ban TikTok when he was president in 2020 , has changed his tune.

Some Washington politicians from both the left and the right are still hoping it goes through.
